[2017.06.29]

Hailing from Poland, the epic black / death metallers of DEVILISH
IMPRESSIONS will release their new album, “The I” on September
22nd, 2017 via Lifeforce
Records. The album will be available as CD digipak, limited vinyl LP and
digital download.

mixed and mastered at
Impressive-Art Studio by Przemyslaw Nowak who also handled vocals
recording sessions and guitars’ re-amping. The album’s artwork, design and

Infected Minds. Photo session by Robert Zembrzycki and Pawel
Kowalski of

The album features special guest appearances by
MERCYFUL FATE /
KING DIAMOND’s guitarist Mike
Wead and by Norway’s dark metal masters
AETERNUS’ vocalist / guitarist Ares. Other artists who also
contributed to the record are shamanic ritual meditative experimental act
BÖN and
Impressive-Art Studio’s owner PRZEMYSLAW NOWAK who came up with
interludes, additional background tunes and effects.

“It’s been a really long way to be finally able to wrap it all up, countless
nights spent on writing the music and lyrics first, then working on the album’s
pre-production, followed by what seemed to be never-ending, proper recording
sessions, and tones of work that had to be done for the band afterwards. We
really wanted this new album to become something really special and therefore,
to avoid any haphazard decisions, we let them come out of us smoothly, without
putting ourselves under any external tension and stuff. Did it pay off? Well,
we’ll see… We surely worked our asses off, pushed things back and forth to get
the best out of it. As a result we’ve got something we are damn proud of,
something that we believe surpasses on all possible levels everything we’ve done
in the past. I simply believe we’d outdone ourselves and recorded something that
will cause your hearts beat faster…” – comments Quazarre, the band’s
composer, vocalist and guitarist.

The title chosen, “The I”, for the record is not only a phonetic acronym
of the band’s name, but above all it reflects the manifesto they stand for since
the Horde’s inception in the year 2000 – the notion of freedom of choice and
will. A supremacy of an individual over any external factors being imposed on us
by others, with special emphasis on religion and its convictions, dogmas and
paradigms. “The I” is a rebellious manifesto targeted against all those
who stand opposed to anything that drives us towards individual perfection.

DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS RETURN TO LIFEFORCE RECORDS. NEW ALBUM IN SEPTEMBER 2017.
[2017.06.12]

Formed in the year 2000 as a studio project and then as a
regular live-band six years later, DEVILISH
IMPRESSIONS from Poland is a dominant Black Death metal band that’s
quickly pummeling through the genre and making their way to fans and media
around the globe.

“I’m thrilled to work with Devilish Impressions again to hopefully
push the band to the next level. The guys in the band are dedicated hard workers.
They know exactly what they want, what is needed to reach their goal and their
new album is very big step forward musically. I truly believe we can turn some
heads with “The I”! - comments Lifeforce Records owner
Stefan Lüedicke.

The title chosen, “The I”, for the record is not only a phonetic acronym
of the band’s name, but above all it reflects the manifesto they stand for since
the Horde’s inception in the year 2000 – the notion of freedom of choice and
will. A supremacy of an individual over any external factors being imposed on us
by others, with special emphasis on religion and its convictions, dogmas and
paradigms. “The I” is a rebellious manifesto targeted against all those
who stand opposed to anything that drives us towards individual perfection.

In 2016, DEVILISH
IMPRESSIONS joins the elite roster of New York based
EXTREME MANAGEMENT GROUP alongside notable bands such as SUFFOCATION,
CATTLE DECAPITATION, ORIGIN, CRYPTOPSY, ATHEIST, RINGS OF SATURN, KING PARROT,
INTERNAL BLEEDING and many more. With the newfound partnership, both sides
will work together in making the band’s future endeavors the most prominent and
impactful with their fans respectively and the rest of the metal genre.

Norway's melodic extreme metallers SUSPERIA,
comprising former members of Dimmu Borgir and Satyricon , have
inked a record deal with Agonia Records,
with plans to release their long-awaited new album, "The Lyricist". By
the same token, SUSPERIA
will close the eight-year gap that separates their last opus, "Attitude""
(2009).

"The Lyricist" will be the first studio album to showcase new vocalist,
Bernt Fjellestad (a.k.a. Dagon, central figure in the picture),
whose official stage debut with the band was made at last year's 70000tons Of
Metal Festival at sea.

The band commented on the signing and upcoming material: "Susperia is
proud to announce the signing with Agonia Records for our upcoming album
"The Lyricist". It’s going to be a harder and more grim album, going back
to Susperia’s black roots!".

SUSPERIA may
have their roots in the Norwegian black metal scene, but it is merely a starting
point for a band that describes their music as "extreme metal with melodic
twists". A simple philosophy of "no boundaries" demonstrates that the band has
no hesitation in embracing and exploring a variety of musical avenues with ease.

The origins of the Oslo based group can be traced back to 1998 when Tjodalv,
then occupying the drum seat with Dimmu Borgir, and long-time friend
Cyrus (ex-Satyricon, Old Man's Child) got together to share ideas and write
songs. A chance meeting between vocalist Athera and Tjodalv at
1999’s Wacken Festival in Germany would lead to the completion of the SUSPERIA
line-up, as Athera brought in also two other members - bass guitarist
Memnock and guitarist Elvorn.

The band's line-up can easily be described as a long-lasting one, with all
original members in place since its inception, and the exception of Dagon
filling in Athera's boots, after the latter's departure in 2015. But even
Dagon isn't new to SUSPERIA. He
performed with it on several occasions as a live mussician, at times Athera
had other engagements. Primarily a heavy metal signer, Dagon has mastered also
other vocal techincs, performing with the band. Nowadays, there's new found
confidence and determination running through the SUSPERIA
camp.

With five studo albums under the belt and an etiquette of a powerful live act, SUSPERIA has
consistently remained focused on the live area. The band's numerous high profile
shows include supports to W.A.S.P., In Flames, Destruction and Dimmu Borgir,
as well as headline and festival appearances. One of the group’s most cherished
experiences thus far, remains the invitation to be the main support to the newly
reformed Testament, in late 2005.

More news on SUSPERIA's
sixth full-length album "The Lyricist" will follow soon.
